When electronic and electrical products are exported to the EU market, RoHS testing is indeed required. The process for EU RoHS testing of electronic and electrical products usually includes the following steps:
1. Apply for RoHS testing: First, the manufacturer needs to submit a RoHS testing application to the testing agency and provide the necessary application form.
2. Quotation and fee payment: The testing agency will provide a quotation based on the submitted application, and the manufacturer needs to pay the fee according to the agreement after confirming the quotation.
3. Sample mailing: The manufacturer needs to mail the sample to the testing agency for testing.
4. Testing arrangements: After receiving the samples, the testing agency will test the samples according to the requirements of the RoHS directive.
5. Test results: After the test is completed, the testing agency will provide the test results to inform whether the product passed the test.
6. Report mailing: For products that pass the test, the testing agency will mail the RoHS test report to the applicant, and the test is completed.
7. Product splitting: During the testing process, the product needs to be split into a single material for testing to ensure the accuracy of the test.
8. Hazardous substance testing: The testing items include whether the contents of six hazardous substances, including lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), comply with the requirements of the RoHS directive.
9. Testing methods: Different testing methods are used according to different materials, such as XRF scanning and chemical analysis testing methods.
10. Exempted products: The use of certain substances in certain types of electronic and electrical products can be exempted. These exemptions are based on certain needs in different aspects.
11. CE marking requirements: The RoHS 2.0 directive also includes CE marking requirements.
12. Testing and certification methods: Chinese manufacturers can conduct CE (including RoHS2.0) certification through the Declaration of conformity issued independently by the company, the Certificate of compliance issued by a third-party organization, or the EC Attestation of conformity issued by the European Union Notified Body.
13. Submission of information and certification process: including filling in the application form, providing product instructions and prototypes, technical documents, certification body determining inspection standards and testing items, quotation, payment, product testing and technical document review, rectification (if necessary), final Obtain a test report or technical file (TCF) and a CE Certificate of Conformity (COC).
The above steps constitute the basic process for EU RoHS testing of electronic and electrical products.
